Stars up above are peeping
Time has arrived for bed
Drawn are the blinds for sleeping
Pillows await your head

It’s time to say goodnight
And it’s time to close your eyes
Let’s put out the light
Till the dawn breaks through the skies
While long shadows creep
May your dreams be sweet and bright
In a moment you’ll be sound asleep
It’s time to say goodnight.
